Our Candles Smell Like Dirt

And that’s actually a good thing. The other night, Kim (a kindergarten teacher by day) sold a few candles to her principal. Red Hot Cinnamon was the candle of choice for Cheryl, but her son was interested in our candle tins. Fresh Dirt, to be specific. He works as a landscaper and LOVES dirt. Apparently, he was quite taken that there was such a candle in existence. He bought it, and has had it burning in his room for the last several days. His room happens to be in the basement of the house, and Cheryl mentioned to Kim that their whole basement now smells "exactly like dirt." Kim asked her if her son has ever had a candle before. "No, this is his first," replied Cheryl. "But he loves it." Good for us, bad for Cheryl, who makes wonderful floral wreaths and has to share the basement with her son and his new candle. She has taken it all in good humor, but I don’t think we’ll aggressively ask for a re-order, because it just seems like good sense to keep the boss on your good side. Being a landscaper, perhaps her son would be interested in our Lilac candle…
